Let me tell you a story about a Tennessee football running back who arrived on campus with very little hype and spent the first part of his career sitting behind two elite running backs.
This player patiently waited for his turn to start at the position, and in his redshirt senior year, he finally seized the reigns. All he did in his one year as a starter was break the school record for rushing yards in a season with 1,464.
